In case you weren’t among the 5,000 fashion fanatics in attendance last weekend for the 2010 SCAD Style runway show, there’s still one chance left to see designs by the students that Vogue’s editor-at-large and a cadre of industry leaders clutch to their bosoms like teddy bears at bedtime.
The top 20 fashion design talents from the Savannah College of Art and Design will stage "Fashion Seen" _ an up-close and personal presentation of their graduate collections _ on Thursday (7:30-until) at the prestigious school’s Atlanta campus (1600 Peachtree Street). It’s a festive (food and wine) occasion free and open to the public; but guests must register to attend because space is limited.
These are many of the same style innovations that wrap-dress queen Diane Von Furstenberg reviewed while receiving the 10th Annual Lifetime Achievement Award endowed by Vogue’s outsized personality, Andre Leon Talley. Previous awardees (who yours truly interviewed for the occasion) include Oscar de la Renta, Tom Ford and Miuccia Prada.
This year’s roster of top design students were mentored by Zac Posen, Bryan Bradley, Angel Sanchez and Catherine Malandrino, with a stronger emphasis than ever on landing jobs that could ultimately lead to Fashion Week shows of their own.
As if the student collections won’t be enough to hold guests’ interests, there will be an exclusive viewing of the provocative photos taken by the likes of Avedon, Penn and Chevalier that the designer most born to wardrobe Naomi Campbell, Azzedine Alaia, owns and cherishes.
